    Canadian eview V olume 42, No. 4 Right to BaRe Arms Dress Guidelines in British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly p. 6 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SUMMER 2019 There are many examples of family members sitting in parliaments at the same time. However, the first father-daughter team to sit together in a legislative assembly did not happen in Canada until 1996. That is when Sue Edelman was elected to the 29th Yukon Legislative Assembly, joining her re-elected father, Ivan John “Jack” Cable. Mr. Cable moved to the North in 1970 after obtaining degrees in Chemical Engineering, a Master’s in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Laws in Ontario. He practiced law in Whitehorse for 21 years, and went on to serve as President of the Yukon Chamber of Commerce, President of the Yukon Energy Corporation and Director of the Northern Canada Power Commission. He is also a founding member of the Recycle Organics Together Society and the Boreal Alternate Energy Centre. Mr. Cable’s entry into electoral politics came in 1992, when he successfully won the riding of Riverdale in East Whitehorse to take his seat in the Yukon Legislative Assembly. Ms. Edelman’s political presence had already been established by the time her father began his term as an MLA. In 1988, she became a Whitehorse city councillor, a position she held until 1994. In her 1991 reelection, she received more votes for her council seat than mayor Bill Weigand received. Following her time on city council, she was elected to the Selkirk Elementary School council. In the 1996 territorial election, she ran and won in the Riverdale South riding.

    www.nsgeu.ca [email protected] September 27, 2017 Honourable Karen Casey Nova Scotia Minister of Finance PO Box 187, 1723 Hollis St., Halifax NS B3J 2N3 [email protected] Dear Minister Casey: Re: Marijuana Legalization Following your meeting last June with Canada’s other Ministers of Finance where the issue of marijuana legalization was discussed you stated, "That is really the priority for the three ministers right now — to look at how we do that consultation, when we do it and what questions we ask, what information we want to hear from the public." In preparation for this consultation, the Nova Scotia Government and General Employees Union has commissioned a report, A Public Health Approach to Cannabis Legalization, to critically assess the public health literature pertaining to cannabis distribution and retail from a public health perspective. I am pleased to share that report with you. To protect public health in Nova Scotia as cannabis legalization moves forward, it’s important to design a strong distribution and retail format guided by the best available public health evidence. With primary distribution options ranging from privatized to a publicly owned system, the decision regarding how to distribute cannabis should involve weighing public health protection motivations versus promoting private commercial interests. As you will see, researchers and public health professionals are clear: implementing a publicly owned system for cannabis distribution and retail is the best way to protect public health, whereas a privatized system may put public health at risk. In short, if Nova Scotia owns it, Nova Scotia controls it. You can choose to prioritize public health or commercial interests.
